DENVER (KDVR) — The Denver Broncos had arguably their best win of the season against the Dallas Cowboys last week and were able to stretch the team’s win streak to five in a row.

The blue and orange will look to extend that streak to six with a win against the Houston Texans, who are a sneakily good team despite having a losing record.

Here’s everything to know about the Broncos’ Week 9 matchup against the Houston Texans.

Key things to know for Broncos at Texans

Not the looks of a below .500 team

The Texans only sit at 3-4, having played one less game than the Broncos, who have played eight and sit at 6-2. But don’t let the Texans’ below .500 record fool you for even a second — this is a scary team.

The Texans are the only team with a losing record that has a positive point differential at +50, which is better than several teams with winning records and only six points off the Broncos, who sit at +56.

The reason for the Texans’ statistical anomalies is the team’s elite defense, which is one of the only defenses in the NFL that can say they are better than the Broncos — in fact, they can say they are better than any defense in the NFL, period.

The Texans have some quarterback hunters, Will Anderson Jr., and Danielle Hunter, who lead a terrifying pass rush.

The rest of the Texans’ defense is just as stingy, and they only concede an NFL-best 266.9 yards allowed per game. The Broncos sit in fifth-best at 281.4 yards allowed per game.

Broncos offense hitting its flow state

When comparing the Broncos and Texans, it is important to remember that the Broncos have played one more game so far. However, a dominant Broncos offense crushed the Cowboys last week, and it was hopefully the turning point for the offense, which has struggled at times this season.

This is a similar problem the Texans have faced, and might be the reason the team is below .500.

Despite playing a game less than the Broncos, the Texans have scored 153 points, compared to the Broncos’ 207. Even with the game difference, the Texans would need 54 points to reach the Broncos’ total, which would take about two games, going off the average score in the NFL at 23.3 points a game.

Two stalwart defenses won’t give up anything for free. It will likely come down to which offense can secure that extra play or two to get a win over the line, and it looks like the Broncos have the slight edge in that department.

Broncos’ defense has a PS2-sized hole

The Broncos’ defense has been just as scary as advertised this year, and many teams have struggled to break it down in key moments, which has handed the Broncos some narrow wins.

One of the reasons the team’s defense is so heralded and terrifying is the presence of reigning Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II. He gives a new definition to the term suffocating defense.

He is a lockdown defender whose career stats might be strange at some point, and not because of him declining in any area, but simply because teams have essentially stopped looking in his direction because they know that pass is never getting to the receiver, or if it does, they will maybe get a half yard before Surtain has them facedown in the turf.

However, Surtain exited the game against the Cowboys prematurely, and following the final whistle, it was confirmed that he will miss a month or more with a pectoral injury.

His presence will be greatly missed, and the Broncos will have to adapt without their defensive leader, who is probably the best player on the team. The Broncos will get some defensive reinforcement in Dre Greenlaw, who is back following a one-game suspension.

Another injury that might stifle the Broncos is the possible concussion of Pro Bowl wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr., who the team said would enter the NFL’s concussion protocol and, according to the Broncos’ most recent injury report, has not practiced.
